In order to keep an elderly people raise the quality of a cultural life, it is thought that the development of welfare equipment, which improve the moving capability to make positive participation to a social community is important. The study and development of the pneumatic or hydraulic assist system for various purposes adapting mechatronics has been performed. The proposed system reported in this paper assists the expansion operation of a knee joint by air pressure, which is soft and also fits for environment. The present phase of walk is measured by the signals of the load cell sensor installed in sole of shoes. When the assist timing point is detected, the system assists a knee joint extension automatically by supporting the proper air pressure to the air cylinder attached in the side part of the knee joint. In this paper, the walking analysis by means of biomechanics is introduced and the validity is confirmed.
